FISHERMAN'S CORNER
By BUTCH SUITT
Silsbee, Texal
Section 2, Page 3
While sitting in front of the
"tube" Sunday afternoon wat-
ching Jim Thomas land a 120-
pound tarpon, I realized just
how many fishing programs
are on T.V. now. The Ameri-
can Angler, The Fishin’ Hole,
Lone Star Sportsman, Cham-
pionship Fishing, to name a
few.
The films on these programs
show the anglers catching fish
one after the other, giving the
impression of the fish just
nearly jumping in the boat.
I, personally, find these films
very entertaining, however few
have any educational value.
Some people look on these
films as actual fishing exper-
iences when in truth, most of
the films take at least a week
or two to film.
These pros encounter the
same problems as we every-
day fishermen do, bad weath-
er. the fish being closed-mouth-
ed, etc.
They also have the advan-
tage of fishing with top guides
on each lake (a luxury most
of us cannot afford).
It takes thousands of feet
of film to come up with the 20
minutes of fish catching that
you see on T V.
and family and Willard Dennis.
Mr, and Mrs. Walter Eason
from Anson, Tex., Alfred Ea-
son from Votaw, Mr. and Mrs.
W. F, Madelcry and son of New
Iberia, La., were guests in C. T.
Jordan and Mrs. E. E. Black’s
home.

the
On a recent filming on Luke
Sam Rayburn, the Stars of the
film recruited the aid of some
(op fishermen in Jasper to help
them find some bass.
Finding the bass was no trick
for these local fishermen,
trick was trying to show
Stars how to catch them. Fin-
ally, in desparation, the Jas-
per fishermen would hook the
fish, hand (he rod to one of
the Stars, then lie down in Ihe
bottom of the boat so Ihe cam-
era would show the fish being
landed by the Star.
The finished film was a very
entertaining film, which show-
ed these Pros having a fantas-
tic trip at Rayburn,
I’m not knocking these films
however people should view
these films In the same light
as you watch the late movie —
just for entertainment.

Funeral services were at

summer worm holes as the best

worms in about 18 feet of wa-

is still after dark under the
lights .
Moon’s Night and Day
The moon has a night and
day. It rotates on its axis in
29.53 earth days and this is
the length of its day, so it
has about 15 earth-days of
light and 15 earth-days of
darkness alternately at any
one place on its surface.
Ever have trouble with your
monofilament twisting and
kinking, especially after using
a spinner or worm? These
kinks can be easily straightened
out by removing the lure from
your line, start your boat as
if you were going to troll, then
start letting your line out. Af-j
ter pulling your line through
the water for a short while at
a fast trolling speed, reel it in J
and the kinks will he gone.

Fishing seems to be hot and
cold lately with no consistent
patterns emerging. The bass

When you hear a Texan gel lo bragging about
the world's finest Highway System being in
Texas, he's right. But what he might neglect
to say is that some ot the most rewarding
discoveries in the state are to be made when
you get OFF the super highways and take
to the quiet, shady roads. Like going through
the charming and beautiful city ol Huntsville,
Just off Interstate 45 . . the city Sam Houston
called home.
Here on 15 acres of sweeping lawns with
Its giant trees and exquisite gardens, is Sam
Houston Memorial Park, a titling shrine to
a great Texan and his family. A tour through
these grounds ol Houston's original home,
directly opposite the Sam Houston State Col-
lege and right in the middle ot town, impres-
sively points up the connection between
Houston the Tennessde-Texas pioneer, Iron-
tiersman, military genius and politician ,.
and Houston the devoted family man. The Sam
Houston Museum, a large, beautiful copper-
domed building, contains a remarkable collec-
tion of Houston memorabilia, in addition to a
sizeable study of early life in Texas generally.
Elsewhere on the lovely grounds, the original
Houston home, his law office and a replica
of the detached kitchen are in excellent con-
dition, and invite detailed inspection. The
grounds are preserved just as they were when
Sam and Margaret Houston lived there with
their family (eventually tour boys and four
girls) between 1847 and 1858.
Also on the grounds is a camparatively re-
cent and intriguing addition lo Ihe memorial
Cl m AMI A A t
compound .. the Steamboat House. In 1858
Sam Houston sold the homestead to raise
money for his successful campaign for the
Governor's chair in 1859. He served as Texas’
last pre-Civil War Governor only until March
16, 1861, when he resigned rather than vote
for secession. Brokenhearted, he returned to
his beloved Huntsville where he tried unsuc-
cessfully to buy back his old home. Deter-
mined lo remain close, he rented the Steam-
boat House on the tar side of town, where
broken heart begat broken health and he died
ot pneumonia in 1863 at the age ol 70. In
honor of the old Texan and his heirs, the
state moved the Steamboat House to the
grounds in 1936.
Take a lew hours oil the high road. Texan,
and step back into Texas history more than
a century. Stroll with a Texas stalwart who
loved children, (lowers and the peace of a
quiet home, for himself and lor his lellow
Texans .. and who whipped an entire na-
tion to earn them!
Here, banking services arc easier to use,
fully complete, readily available to meet
all your needs, through complete modern
facilities. Friendliness, too!
